This measure seeks to add to the current library levy by a rate of $.25 per $1,000 of assessed property value in order to further pay for operational costs of the library.[1]

Text of measure

The question on the ballot:

Shall the City of Milan, Counties of Washtenaw and Monroe, Michigan, be authorized to levy an amount not to exceed 25 cents ($0.25) per thousand dollars ($1,000) (0.25 mills) of the taxable value on all taxable property in the City for seven (7) years, beginning with the tax levy in 2012, as new additional millage to provide funds for library operating purposes for the Milan Public Library? If approved and levied in its entirety in 2012, this millage would raise an estimated $47,387.[2]
